Commercial Contracts

In the day-to-day course of business, regardless of the size of your operation, it is fundamental to regulate and document your business relationships.

To do this, your commercial contracts with suppliers, customers, distributors and agents must be drafted in a way which properly protects your business interests.

Weak or non-existent commercial contracts make a business unstable. Sound legal advice is therefore essential when drafting these documents to prevent your business from entering into one-sided agreements and avoid time-consuming and financially dangerous repercussions in the event of breaches of contract, or if the matter needs to be taken to court.

Our specialist team of commercial solicitors act for a broad spectrum of clients and have expert knowledge and experience in the drafting of all types of commercial contracts, including:

  • Agency Agreements
  • Banking and Lending documentation
  • Competition Law
  • Confidentiality or Non Disclosure Agreements
  • Distribution Agreements
  • Franchise Agreements
  • Guarantees
  • Information Technology contracts, e.g. hardware purchase and software licences
  • International contracts
  • Joint Ventures
  • Outsourcing Agreements
  • Research and Development Agreements
  • Service Agreements
  • Sponsorship Agreements
  • Terms and Conditions – for the supply and purchase of goods and/or services
  • Intellectual Property e.g. trademark and patent licences.

As business people ourselves, we understand the commercial pressures under which our clients operate. We believe it is vital that our commercial solicitors gain an understanding of our clients’ businesses, the industries and markets in which they work and their underlying commercial objectives.

We keep your business aims at the heart of our involvement and carefully advise on the options and considerations that are most relevant to any particular circumstance. This is underpinned by a focus on providing cost-effective, practical business solutions for clients of all sizes, in all sectors.
